Waffle Stitch Dishcloth

This dishcloth uses the featured stitch, the Waffle Stitch. It is a little over sized so that after it is washed and dried, it will shrink to the average size. The texture of this dishcloth lends itself well for scrubbing dishes clean. This same pattern could be made with nylon plastic canvas yarn for even more scrubbing power.

Random Quick Tip!

Can Cozy
Now that it is summer and you are probably drinking more beverages that come in a can, you might want to make some can covers to absorb the condesation out side the can. Well the pattern for the JPFCup would work great for this! You can get the pattern at
//www.jpfun.com/patterns/14misc/jpfcup.shtml. But if this does not work for you, you can make a simple dc circle then when it gets to 2-1/2" in diameter, just continue working one dc in each stitch around joining at the end of each round until it is the right height for the can. I would think using Variegated cotton yarn would work best for these covers.
